Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

209: Chapter 209 Ugh, I can’t think of a title!Liu Tingshu bit her red lip, her eyes filled with worry.

She also carried a sub-Immortal Fire, which allowed her to sense Liu Tingshu’s location at all times.

Once the distance was too great, it would lose its sensing ability.

Of course, if Liu Tingshu entered an ancient mighty figure’s Immortal Cave or went to an Immortal Dao Grotto-Heaven, these places would naturally block external prying, making it impossible for the sub-Immortal Fire to sense her.

The reason she speculated that Chen Xianting was not in Luotian was due to the feedback from the Immortal Fire.

The Immortal Fire itself had lost its connection to Liu Tingshu, and before losing it, the Immortal Fire detected fluctuations from an ultra-long-distance spatial teleportation.

Therefore, there’s a high probability that Chen Xianting is no longer within the Luotian Realm but was teleported to the Outer Domain.

It’s also possible she was transported to a mighty figure’s Immortal Cave located in the boundless starry sky.

Some mighty figures in the Luotian Realm are special; they don’t place their Legacy Immortal Caves within the realm but rather in the outer starry sky, which can maximally isolate them from their enemies’ investigations.

These mighty figure Legacies wandering in the outer starry sky might be obtained by Outer Domain beings, bringing the Purple Mansion Golden Core Dao to that world and creating a Cultivation civilization.

This is also one of the reasons why those mighty figures set their Legacy Immortal Caves in the Outer Heavens.

Even if they die, their Legacies can still shine brightly in the outer starry sky.

Invading another world and plundering its Origin to nourish the Luotian Realm is one way to obtain Heavenly Dao Karma.

Spreading the Purple Mansion Golden Core Dao to other realms, allowing the Dao from the Luotian Realm to proliferate across all heavens and myriad realms, is also a method.

The more beings in the world who Cultivate the Purple Mansion Golden Core Dao, the stronger this Cultivation path becomes. The feedback received by the Luotian Realm, as the ancestral home of this Dao, is immeasurable and can also promote the world’s status.

The higher the Luotian Realm’s status, the higher the upper limit that beings within the realm can reach.

This is beneficial to all Cultivators.

However, spreading the Purple Mansion Golden Core Dao cannot be achieved overnight; it requires a long time to promote.

For Golden Core True Monarchs whose lifespan is only ten thousand years, it’s more practical to invade a few more worlds.

”Xianting is indeed not in the Luotian Realm, but was transported to a trial world specifically prepared by an ancient mighty figure... for trial-takers.”

”Once she completes the trial and obtains that mighty figure’s Legacy, she can be transported back to the Luotian Realm.”

Yuan Feng replied, his face showing no redness and his heart no flutter.

Chongming Venerable had been dead for who knows how many years, and he wasn’t clear about the situation in the Chongming Realm; it was definitely not as good as imagined.

Fortunately, no news of Chen Xianting’s demise appeared on the System Panel, and her breakthrough to Purple Mansion a few years ago indicated that she was doing well in the Chongming Realm.

Moreover, he had left a Hair Strand on Chen Xianting’s body, which could be activated in times of danger.

However, the Chongming Realm is too far from the Luotian Realm. The power he could transmit would likely be very little, enough to deal with a Purple Mansion stage Immortal Master, but somewhat insufficient against a Golden Core.

Unless he could achieve Nascent Soul, the power he transmitted would reach the Golden Core level.

Furthermore, once Chen Xianting established an anchor point with his Hair Strand, he could forcibly cross realms with Nascent Soul level power, descending from the Luotian Realm across endless space to the Chongming Realm.

All of this was predicated on him being a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal.

”Facing the vast and boundless Universe starry sky, even a Golden Core True Monarch has times of exhaustion.”

Yuan Feng sighed in his heart.

Don’t look at how his clashes with several other Golden Core True Monarchs were world-destroying, shattering many stars.

For the vast and endless outer starry sky, it was nothing at all.

”A trial world?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Tingshu calmed down, and the swaying chains became still.

”It seems this is Xianting’s Opportunity; I just hope nothing bad happens.”

A gentle expression appeared in the eyes of the Sacred Fire Cult Saintess, and maternal radiance emanated from her.

A woman is naturally gentle, but becomes strong for her child.

The reason she was obediently locked in the Forbidden Ground was also because of Chen Xianting.

If anything happened to Chen Xianting, she would definitely go mad.

”Right, the reason I came to see you today is twofold: first, to inform you about Xianting, and second, it concerns Zhu Xiao.”

Yuan Feng’s expression became serious. His Golden Core Qi surged like a million great mountains pressing down, causing the Sacred Fire Cult’s Forbidden Ground to rumble, his Dou Zhan might unparalleled.

”Tingshu has been confined to the Forbidden Ground ever since her virginity was broken, and she hasn’t seen Chen Zhuxiao since.”

Liu Tingshu looked up, a tear tracing down her cheek: ”Has Demon Monarch come today to tell Tingshu that Chen Zhuxiao has found a new love and is preparing to abandon his wife and daughter?”

”After all, what happened between us was just an accident. With his talent and looks, what kind of woman couldn’t he find? Why should he hang himself on my tree?”

Yuan Feng: ???

”So, you know about him and Mo Li?”

Yuan Feng felt a headache coming on.

Liu Tingshu was the first to establish a relationship with Chen Zhuxiao and bear his child; she should, by rights, be considered the principal wife, the main wife.

Fortunately, Chen Fufeng had anticipated this situation back then and specifically amended the Chen family rules, especially for the main lineage, allowing for multiple principal wives of equal status.

”Tingyi stayed at Luoyun Mountain for a while; she told me everything.”

Tears welled up in Liu Tingshu’s eyes, making her look pitiable.

”It’s over; that kid Zhu Xiao is in for it.”

Yuan Feng’s gaze sharpened.

For a female Cultivator who Cultivates Supreme Fire to display such an appearance, her outburst would surely be world-shattering.

”Zhu Xiao has never forgotten you. He will come to the Sacred Fire Cult to take you home after he achieves Divine Thunder Golden Core.”

”As for what happened between him and Mo Li, well, my Chen family is a bit different; we can marry multiple principal wives.”

”Also, besides being close to Mo Li, he also has an unusual relationship with an initiated Dao Maiden from the Red Dust Sect.”

Yuan Feng said earnestly.

Liu Tingshu would know sooner or later, so it was better to make it clear now. He didn’t want Luoyun Mountain to be thrown into chaos.

”Tingshu... understands. Thank you, Demon Monarch, for informing me.”

The tears in Liu Tingshu’s eyes quickly evaporated, and she bowed remotely to Yuan Feng.

”You are Zhu Xiao’s betrothed wife; like him, you can just call me Uncle Yuan.”

Yuan Feng nodded slightly, accepting the bow.

”Greetings, Uncle Yuan.”

Liu Tingshu bowed again.

Afterward, Yuan Feng didn’t linger, following the Blazing Ash True Monarch, whose face was flushed with anger, out of the Forbidden Ground.

”Infuriating, truly infuriating!”

Blazing Ash True Monarch fumed, puffing out his cheeks and glaring. If not for Yuan Feng’s prestige, he would have really found Chen Zhuxiao and given that kid a good beating.

In terms of status, Liu Tingshu was the Saintess of the Sacred Fire Cult, no less than a Dao Maiden from a Nascent Soul Immortal Sect.

In terms of figure and appearance, Liu Tingshu lacked nothing; she could easily make it onto the Great Qi’s list of peerless beauties.

Having such a woman as a wife wasn’t enough; he still went around flirting. No wonder he was angry.

”Fellow Daoist, calm down. Young people, you know, are full of passion; it’s normal to have several confidantes.”

”Besides, I’ve already made it clear: if Zhu Xiao doesn’t marry Tingshu, wouldn’t that be slapping my face?”

”Fellow Daoist, rest assured, the Chen family will not mistreat Tingshu.”

Yuan Feng patted Blazing Ash True Monarch’s shoulder in comfort.

”Alas, what a fated calamity.”

Blazing Ash True Monarch sighed.

Perhaps all of this was destined: Liu Tingshu and Chen Zhuxiao were fated to meet, then have a relationship, and give birth to Chen Xianting.

”May I see your esteemed sect’s Immortal Fire?”

A thought stirred in Yuan Feng’s mind: the Origin of the Sacred Fire Cult was inseparable from the Immortal Fire.

Legend has it that the founding Ancestral Master of the Sacred Fire Cult only embarked on the Immortal Dao after encountering the Immortal Fire.

With the help of the Immortal Fire, this founding Ancestral Master made rapid progress in the Dao of Supreme Fire, first achieving Golden Core, then attaining Nascent Soul, and even overcoming the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations, standing at the Peak of Nascent Soul.

Unfortunately, before he could ascend to the Supreme Fire position, he was conscripted by several Dao Lords to participate in the cross-realm grand expedition against the Great Demon Realm.

Now, seventy thousand years have passed, and the several Dao Lords are nowhere to be found, nor has a single Immortal Lord returned.

As for those Great Venerables and Venerables, they likely perished during the expedition.

It can be said that the cross-realm grand expedition seventy thousand years ago dealt a tremendous blow to the Luotian Realm, from which it has yet to fully recover.

If not for the newly advanced several Dao Lords and a host of Immortal Lords, the Luotian Realm would perhaps be in danger.

As a world that constantly invades other realms, lacking Dao Lords and Immortal Lords to guard it is no different from a sheepfold without any protection, utterly unable to defend against the hungry wolves from beyond the heavens.

The Outer Domain is vast and boundless; the Luotian Realm is not the only world engaged in invading others.

Yuan Feng once saw fragmented records in an extremely ancient text, whose pages were almost rotten.

The Ancient Eras Final Tribulation of the Luotian Realm might not have originated from within, but from beyond the heavens.

The great tribulation came from beyond the heavens, leading to an unprecedented Final Tribulation erupting in the Luotian Realm.

However, with tens of millions of years separating the ancient era from the present, the specific history is difficult to ascertain.

Even the few Dao Lords of the current era probably don’t know much.

”Fellow Daoist Dou Zhan, Immortal Fire Lord is currently handling important matters and cannot meet you for now.”

Blazing Ash True Monarch said apologetically.

”No matter, perhaps the timing isn’t right. When the time is suitable, we will naturally meet.”

Yuan Feng didn’t dwell on it too much.

A cluster of Immortal Fire, suspected to be left behind by a Supreme Fire Immortal Lord, was half a step higher in status than a Great Venerable; it was normal for it not to wish to meet him, a Middle Stage Golden Core True Monarch.

Then, the man and the ape discussed topics related to the Golden Core True Monarch level.

Three days later, Luoyun Mountain.

As soon as Yuan Feng returned, Gui Li clung to him.

”Dou Zhan, the Gui Li Secret Realm will open in a few years. You can have the Chen family Cultivators prepare early.”

Gui Li said, hands on her hips, pouting her cheeks.

”Gui Li Secret Realm?”

Yuan Feng stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Not long after, Chen Xianlin rushed to Wangyue Cliff.

”Ancestor Yuan, you sent for me?”

Yuan Feng descended from the tree, standing at the edge of the cliff, hands clasped behind his back, looking like an immortal sage.

”The Gui Li Secret Realm is about to open. How do you think we should arrange it so that the clan’s Disciples have no complaints?”

It was impossible for all Chen family Cultivators to enter the Gui Li Secret Realm; inevitably, some Disciples would be unable to participate.

”In the Cultivation world, strength is respected.”

”Xianlin believes we can hold a selection competition, divided into Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment tiers.”

Chen Xianlin said after thinking.
